I really want to see 1oz and more domestic UK, the prices at moment are way to high, i want to pay between £150-£190 an oz of decent stuff like cheese, blue cheese, ak47 what u usually see on the street in UK.

I can't see it happening. You've gotta remember Silk Road takes a 10% (or so?) fee for each order, plus then there's the cost of shipping materials, then Royal Mail charges, other logistics costs, fees getting money out, etc.
For an ounce to cost £160 delivered to you the grower would have to be happy taking home maybe £120 from SR, so why would they bother when they could easily sell it 'in real life' for the full amount?

SR have different fees for different amounts - anything below $50, they take 10%.
Then up to $250 (I think) it's 7.5% - so, I don't really understand how you are getting that SR would take 40GBP for a sale?
Even if they did take 10% on the 160, that would still only be 16GBP - leaving the vendor with 144GBP. Then maybe 4 pound for postage etc, it's still 140.
Plus you get the secure fact you are anonymous, and that nobody can really grass you in. You hear about it all the time, idiots cutting deals with the police to grass on their suppliers to avoid jail time.

To the OP - there are a couple of people offering ounces in the UK at good prices just now.
Go have a look. I think Mr Cronk is offering an ounce of Blue Cheese at about 200.

If you have a look at this topic, apparently there's a guy about to set up his shop and we'll be able to order ounces. Cannot wait personally, usually I pay around £180 for an oz on the streets, would be nice to be able to get premium strains on SR for decent prices.

Mt Cronk also sells thai, i ordered it a while ago, and was amazed at the quality. Ive bough thai a few times on the streets, and that was dry, bad tasting crap. The high it gave felt less intense then the head rush you got from coughing your longs out on that shit.
It had a bright yellow/green color not brown and a surprisingly strong high considering it was thai. It was dry and compressed, but this had no impact on the smoke itself which went down smooth with a, imo, very enjoyable taste.
I'm not claiming here it is as potent as these modern AAA+ medical strains, if that is the high you want at all cost ignore my recommendation. But i would claim its about midgrade in strength, ive had worse even when buying in my regular coffeeshop, and my only regret was only buying 2gr.
That said, i totally agree with the OP, but not only for the UK. Despite having holland in the middle, good EU weedvendors where you can buy quality and verified strains at fair prices (8 to possibly 10 euro/gr for an ounce of AAA+ quality) are extremely rare here on SR.
I did a proper search 1 week ago and the only ones that qualified for me were Marijuana Is My Muse, whose canadian (shipping cost/time, tougher customs, eco footprint ;-) , all things that worry me) and Jabbar(i think that was his name) in holland.
Most sell by the gram, and i'm ok with trying 1gr of AAA+ weed for 15euro/gr some times, but i also want the option to buy bulk at reasonable prices.
All other appealing deals&vendors were domestic USA, they seem to be getting the best deals. Lower prices, lucious looking weed, proper bulk vendors... We need some EU or UK pride who wanna prove we are better and older growers ;-) .
Even with valid reasons or circumstances which makes growing weed more expensive here in the EU, i'm still pretty sure the price difference right now is to big.
I just remembered, @OP , there were 2 other budgetdeals i found which could interesting.
Jesus of Rave(UK i believe) is offering some cheap spanish stuff, but the pics of it, do all but appeal. Still you could test ordering a gr and decide if its worth it.
And what for me was the most appealing deal on the whole of SR; La fuentes is selling a mexican grown strain at an unbelievable low price and the pics of that weed looked great (downright amazing for the price) , he's also getting alot of positive reactions about the quality and potency and packaging of his gear in his feedback. An insane bargain imo, BUT transit times from mexico to the EU are VERY long which is also mentioned in his feedback a few times.

Wait......? You live in Holland and you buy weed on sr, my brain is hurting right now lol :-\
As for UK vendors offering grade AAA+ ounces at street price or similar don't expect it to ever happen, some of the weed their selling if you convert it into ounces works out at over a £1000 per ounce and it looks like their selling quite a bit even at 3btc or over per gram.
I would love to see better deals on premium grade hash though I always try and get one if I think I can it doesn't hurt to ask if you have a good relationship with your vendor just don't take the piss!

I ordered a small amount of this to try. It is ok - it gave my friend with no tolerance a nice little buzz and I'll order more for him but it's too weak for me, didn't really do anything and there were lots of seeds. I ended up using most of it as filler for pure joints. But definitely try it and see, it all depends on your tolerance etc etc.
I'd definitely be interested in buying ounces here on the road though!

I am a UK grower of good weed and can sell it all day long at 220 to 240 an oz for proper stinky cheese or blues, more if I go down south,.
The weed you see on the street in the uk is very low quality if you pay 160, and probably wet or sprayed with some shite.
